Thank you, kd124! Thank you, ranger!

Know what you mean about trying it! Have only seen 2-color HG and very few 4-color ones so couldn't wait to try this. This pattern produces 2 identical blocks at once so I do 2 at a time to get 4 identical ones. Basically, one pair of HST's are set on top of the other HST, sewn tog, cut and sewn tog again. Will explain better in a tutorial if others need that but start off like this:
1) take one dark sq. and one lt. sq, right sides tog, take a felt tip pen and draw a line corner to corner.
2) repeat step 1 (I do 2 at once that produces 4 blocks)
3) now you have 2 bl. to chain sew tog down one side (1/4" away) and come back up the other side.
4) Cut both bl. apart on the felt tip line.
5) Lay one HST on top of the other HST and draw a line corner to corner. Make sure opposites are lined up right.
6) Finger feel your seams and chain sew tog down one side of drawn line and up the other.
7) Cut both bl. on the felt tip line.
8) You now have 4 identical QST's!

Have fun with this scrappy method.

P. S. Forgot to mention this:

In step #5 above, when you lay one HST on top of the other, make sure it forms an "X" to the bl. under it.

Good tutorial, and am glad that you have mastered downloading your pictures, also!
Good show! <wave>

Those are so nice!! Great way to use up all the scraps.... :D

Thank you Omak! Glad you liked the tute and I've come a long way in one week! LOL! My son took a look at my pics and said no wonder you couldn't download these! They are way to heavy and big! LOL :-) I thought throwing three of them in one folder would help the computer out a whole lot :roll: Sure won't try that anymore! :oops: :oops: :lol: :roll: :-)

Thanx!!! Sure is....love that part!!

cool. thank you :D

n2--just found these hourglass pics; How big are the blocks--your piecing is so precise! G

I don't recall but I'll measure for you and get back with you. Actually, precision piecing is automatic with this pattern. I don't think anyone can mess this up. You just have to line it up right and it comes out perfect automatically. lol. We sure hope so anyway. :-D :-D
